Last chance to show your love
DO you know a business that has fantastic customer service or is making brilliant products in Moyne Shire?
Why not show them some love and nominate them for the annual ‘Love Local’ awards?
Nominations will close this Sunday for this year’s awards, which recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of local businesses to the Moyne Shire community.
Mayor Karen Foster said the Love Local program was born out of the COVID pandemic as a way of encouraging people to support local businesses during lockdowns.
“It has grown from that to become a key program for council to promote and celebrate the fantastic things local businesses are doing – and these awards are a key part of that,” she said.
“We have four categories people can nominate their favorite businesses for - Most Innovative Business, Best Customer Service, Most Community Focused, and Made in Moyne.”
According to Cr Foster, the response so far has been “terrific” however more nominations were welcome.
Residents have until midnight this Sunday to lodge their nomination via council’s website.
Cr Foster said nominated businesses would be put to a community vote to determine the winners, which will be announced at an event in June.
Nominations can be made online at https://www.moyne.vic.gov.au/Our-Community/Love-Local-Awards.
